AP Track Review:
Brooklyn based King Bug is one of Eddie Kuspiel's solo projects and Wiffle from his textural sonically rich "Pierpont" EP is full of percussive synth sounds and effected vox. Kuspiel creates another world. Is it a synthetic sonic insectariam of sorts or does the aesthetic have to do with a computer bug or bugs or am I missing the point altogether? It really doesn't matter, it is a world of sounds and feelings that is filmic and beautiful, strange and whimsical. It could grace a Wes Anderson movie and, besides, I like getting lost in the musical metamorphosis.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
‘King Bug’ is a solo project of Eddie Kuspiel, also of Brooklyn-based projects Color Tongue and QWAM. It lived in a backyard decades ago and was written beneath the ground. The work is both autobiographical and imaginative, eroded and remade by time and the friction of a memory at work. King Bug navigates this strange world of footsteps and expectations, with sound. “Pierpont” is the follow-up EP release to his single from this past winter “fEElin gOOd fEElin bAd”, and the 2018 EP “Cocoon Food”.
King Bug is a transcendentalist manifesto in audio form; a product of subway claustrophobia and grass stain day dreams. Listen to it for the textures and the shapes, then listen again and drink up the feelings. Enjoy it with in the wrinkles of the city, or take it out in the wilderness where it belongs.
